For those who work in companies that subscribe users to emails, when users unsubscribe, what portion of them say they "never signed up for this"? (self.asklemmy)

Obviously not looking for hyperaccurate answers, just in general, how many people tend to unsubscribe from promotional emails and how many tick the option "I never signed up for this"?

I thought it was clear we were talking about marketing in general since you announced yourself as a marketeer and made no mention of your personal industry. We should ditch the conversation. We're not going to see eye-to-eye at all here.

there's no way to briefly cover the breadth and depth of all go-to-market strategies though. B2B, B2C, N4P, and then by vertical, by segment, by persona, by horizontal, by business unit, country, technographics, firmographics, psychographics... there are as many different methods as there are companies, and in many cases several methods within a business unit within a company.

I know it's tempting to say "I hate all marketing," but I'd ask you to consider that sometimes we do like it — when a new restaurant opens that looks good, when the new series of our favorite show comes out, when a new game or movie comes out, a new Warhammer collectable, Pokémon card, muscle car, the latest match of the sports team we support...

There must be some profit-driven entertainment you enjoy and it's unlikely you were motivated to enjoy it by knowing the creators personally.
